Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Metatarsalgia
Registration Number
NCT02369380
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Aim of this study is to evaluate the decrease of plantar pain of forefeet due to restoration of plantar pad tissue density and of cushioning function with an hyaluronic acid dermal filler as mechanical-supplementation in subjects with metatarsalgia further use of high heel shoes
